Evolution's Winners - Episode 1

GIGANTORAPTOR- Late Cretaceous, 95 million years ago, Mongolia.

A female Gigantoraptor watches a male in full display do his "mating dance" to win her favor.

WHAT THE SHOW EXPERT SAYS: Gigantoraptor is very likely a giant, feathered, raptor, dinosaur. Why do we know about the feathers? Well, we know that that its relatives had feathers, so it's very reasonable to speculate that it did as well... It belongs to a family of Oviraptors, which once again are mostly smaller than people. But, a Gigantoraptor is huge, several tons." (Scott Sampson, Utah Museum of Natural History)
